The entry made on May 10, 1905 talks about time being "sticky". I think of it as being stuck in time; reluctant to let go. Some people can relive a moment in their life over and over again. This entry reminds me of a hoarder and how they hold on to everything. For the fear of forgetting or moving on people hold on to the past. People can get stuck in some point of their lives and never get free. Somethings haunt people for the rest of their lives.
A drunk driving accident almost always end with the drunken driver being alive to tell the story, and although it may have been an accident that was out of their hands the pain of what they did would always haunt them. A mother who aborts it's child is always reminded of it no matter how long ago it was. Being stuck in time is just like living as if you were invisible because nothing can be changed. Everything has to go exactly the way it did or the future would be misguided. The writer says, "For a life in the past cannot be shared with the present". The loss of a loved one can keep someone stuck in memories because they never got to express their last words. People allow the past to weigh heavy on their hearts. Life continues to go on, time continues to go on, moments are replaced every second. Time forgets and people don't and that's what causes them to become trapped in the past.
